Keyboard Memory Data
You can transfer sampled sounds, recorded songs, and other
data in Digital Keyboard memory to a computer for storage.
You also can load standard MIDI file (SMF) data to the Digital
Keyboard, which greatly expands the Song Bank songs
available to you.
A special Data Manager application is required in order to
transfer data to and from the Digital Keyboard.
Data Types Supported for Data Transfer
The same types of data that you can store to or recall from a
memory card (page E-56) can be transferred to and from the
Digital Keyboard. Note, that recorded song data can be
transferred to a computer in the Digital Keyboard's native
format only. You cannot save recorded song data to a
computer as a standard MIDI file (SMF format).
